Abstract: A knee brace has a pair of femoral and tibial links and a four bar joint mechanism by which a lateral side one of the femoral links is pivotally connected to a lateral side one of the tibial links and a four bar joint mechanism by which a medial side one of the femoral links is pivotally connected to a medial side one of the tibial links. Each of the joint mechanisms comprises an inner, padded, pivot plate and an outer pivot plate, each of end of which is pivotally connected at a single point to a respective one of the femoral and tibial links. Furthermore, the pad on the inner pivot plate of the medial side joint mechanism carries a spherically cupped femoral condyle pad by which the brace, generally, and the joint mechanism, specifically, can be properly positioned relative to the knee of the wearer. The locations of the pivot points for the pivot plates on the links are set in accordance with parameters which are designed to produce a multiaxis motion of a reference point which will constrain the tibia to slide rearwardly relative to the femur in an initial range of flexion of the knee from a straight leg position and then to rotate relative thereto along an arcuate path. Additionally, the angle between imaginary lines through the pivots of each pivot plate is caused to be greater than a predetermined minimum value which will insure that the joint mechanism has sufficient strength not to break apart in use due to loads which are imposed horizontally across the knee joint.

Abstract: A propagation tray, especially for forest plants, has a plurality of propagation receptacles (12). The propagation receptacles are each provided with a substrate-introduction opening arranged at the top receptacle edge, and have a peripheral wall (20) which extends from the substrate-introduction opening to an opposite base surface, tapering conically. In order to form a partially open base (22), the peripheral wall is connected, at the bottom receptacle edge (26), by a plurality of webs (32) to a substrate-retaining insert (34) arranged centrically in the base surface. A plurality of uniformly spaced-apart root guides (28) projects into the receptacle (12) from the peripheral wall. The substrate-retaining insert (34) is designed such that it continues in an at least approximately annular manner. Webs (32) located essentially at right angles to one another are arranged between the bottom ends of the root guides and the substrate-retaining insert (34). <IMAGE>

Abstract: A growable packet switching arrangement where the distribution network (23) blocking probability is substantially reduced because the network has both switch links and chute links, and the network nodes (e.g. 30) include both a switching means (40) interconnecting successive stage switch links and a plurality of non-switching, chute connection means (50) interconnecting successive stage chute links. A network node can transfer a packet, being received on a switch link, to any selected one of the chute connection means of that node for transmission on a chute link. The network nodes are relatively simple and inexpensive because they store only the first few bits needed to route an ATM cell. The blocking probability is further reduced when the number of chutes per node is increased. The number of chutes may be based, for example, on the number of switch link inputs per node. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Compositions for the treatment of cancerous tissues in warm-blooded animals containing both an anticancer drug and a photoactivatable drug attached to copolymeric carriers are made up of a member selected from the group consisting of (a) a copolymeric carrier having attached thereto both an anticancer drug and a photoactivatable drug, (b) a mixture of copolymeric carriers wherein one copolymeric carrier has attached an anticancer drug and the other copolymeric carrier has attached a photoactivatable drug and (c) a combination of (a) and (b). The anticancer drug is attached to the polymeric carrier by side-chains which are stable in the blood stream of the warm-blooded animal but susceptible to hydrolysis by lysosomal enzymes intracellularly. The photoactivatable drug is attached by either the same degradable side-chain or by a non-degradable attachment. The polymer carrier may optionally contain a targeting moiety. Upon administration polymeric macromolecules enter targeted cancer cells by pinocytosis which reduces the side effects normally elicited by the free drugs. A time lag is allowed following administration for optimal uptake of the copolymers in the cancerous tissue for the anticancer agent to begin to take effect. Then a light sources of the appropriate wavelength and energy is to activate the photoactivatable drug. The combined effect of the anticancer agent and photoactivatable drug provides greater cell destruction at reduced dosages and side effects.

Abstract: A preprocessor for conditioning interlace-scan video signals for frame based compression, includes apparatus to accept fields of interlace-scanned video and provide fields of interlace-scanned luminance and chrominance component signals. The fields of interlace-scanned luminance component are combined into respective frames of luminance signal and applied to compressor apparatus for further processing. The fields of interlace scanned chrominance components are independently processed at the field level to generate lines of chrominance values which are interstitial to the lines of the original chrominance values and at a lesser pixel and line density. The independently processed fields of interlace-scanned chrominance signals are combined into respective frames of chrominance component signals and applied to compressor circuitry for further processing. Performing the chrominance signal interpolation and subsampling at the field level tends to eliminate a majority of color distortions around moving images. Receiver apparatus is configured to perform post decompression processing to generate frame data having the original pixel and line density.

Abstract: A sector servo, zone bit recording disk drive includes a sector architecture in which the recording head locates and identifies data sectors without using data ID fields, but instead using information obtained from electronic storage and from servo sectors which need not be adjacent to the data sectors. The tracks contain servo information and data, but not data sector ID information. The tracks in each zone are circumferentially divided into segments. Included in each segment is a number of data regions separated from one another by servo sectors. The data regions may contain partial data sectors and complete data sectors. The format information provided to identify and locate data sectors, including ones whose region locations are not adjacent to servo sectors, includes an entry for each region in the section. Each entry includes the lengths of the first and last data sections in the region, whether the sectors represented by those sections are split between two regions, the total number of data sectors in the region, and the sector number of the first data sector in the region. The information provided in the servo sectors consists of a servo sector number or other indicia which enables the disk drive to determine the position of the recording head and begin reading or writing immediately upon settling on-track and without incurring a latency penalty. <IMAGE>
